How does app.config work

I have designed two programs that both use app.config files. I need both the programs in one program files folder and when I place both in there I have copied over there myapp.exe.config files into the directory but when I run the program it reports that it the system cannot find the file specified.

How does the app.config work?
Do I need to create an install?
Would it not be easier to store in the registery of the computer?

I am using visual studio 2008

You're copying them both from the Release/Debug directory right?

Have you tried putting both application in a single solution and building them together?
